Yasiel Puig Benched for Today's Dodgers Game After Showing Up to the Ballpark Late

Last August, the Dodgersbenched their young superstar-in-the-making Yasiel Puig after he showed up to a game against the Marlins late. But apparently, he didn't learn his lesson after it happened. Because he's landed in Don Mattingly's doghouse again for showing up late for a game.

Earlier today, Puig showed up late for batting practice prior to today's Dodgers game against the Giants. And as a result, the Dodgers scratched him from their lineup and will go with Matt Kemp in the outfield instead of Puig. There's a chance Puig could potentially pinch-hit at some point during the game. But if you're going to the ballpark solely to see Puig today, we wouldn't bank on it.
